Realizing that the exhibition is nearly over, I finally got around to publish the photographs I took over the summer. The artist in question, Jeff Koons, was not a particular favorite, but I must admit that this exhibit changed my mind.
Sort of.
When I left the Whitney, I had a new appreciation, and respect, for buy ivermectin uk Mr. Koons‘ obvious skills of taking the everyday objects that we utilize: toasters, sponges, vacuums, teapots, and highlighting them as objects of art. The Inflamables, are pieces of the artist’s work that are well recognized and appreciated – on a global scale. And I must admit, they are fast becoming favorites of mine. Many of those pieces brought a smile to my face. And eventhough I know how banale they were, I also admired their obvious usefulness.
The retrospective ends at The Whitney Museum on October 19th, but travels to the Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne, Paris from November 26, 2014–April 27, 2015) and to the Guggenheim Bilbao on June 5 – September 27, 2015.
